HC Deb 27 March 1950 vol 473 c31
46. Lord John Hope

asked the Prime Minister how soon supplies of the ribbon of the Malayan General Service Medal will be available in the theatre of operations.

The Prime Minister

Supplies for the Forces and the regular Malayan Police will be available in Malaya in about 10 days' time. Ribbon for other categories is being manufactured.

Mr. Emrys Hughes

Is the Prime Minister aware that the Military Medal for gallantry in Malaya has recently been awarded to Private Hugh McPhee of the Seaforth Highlanders? Is he further aware that Private McPhee has no house, and is living with his two daughters in a corrugated iron shelter; and can he exchange the Military Medal for a house?
